Taipei Times


The Taipei Times is the only printed daily English-language newspaper in Taiwan, and the third established there.

Established on 15 June 1999, the Taipei Times is published by the Liberty Times Group, which also publishes a Chinese-language newspaper, the Liberty Times, Taiwan's biggest newspaper by circulation, with a pro–Taiwan independence editorial line.
On 15 May 2017, The China Post was the Timess last English-language competitor to go out of print and the Taipei Times is consequently offered at most points of sale, hotels and libraries as the English-language option.
